War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Warm sunshine and a soft, cool breeze this Saturday afternoon, on California’s north coast. Weekend days are so different those days in rest of the week on a shitload of levels — even the tempo is dissimilar, time itself seems to bend a little. Now a month-old retiree, I’ve suddenly inherited big blocks of time…
Clear with just a bit of haze this early Friday on California’s north coast — and chilly as always with morning sunshine. The storm just past dumped a whopper of rain on Eureka, just a few miles south of where I’m located, with more than two-and-a-half inches on Wednesday — a record for the date,…
Overcast with a sharp-chilly wind this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — maybe more rain today, but the chances are slim. We did get some good totals from that last couple of days, especially here on the shoreline were storms can pass right over us. According to the NWS preliminary rainfall totals, my little town…
Steady rain and a gray quiet this afternoon — war the topic. Yet what is war? Via CNN: Mass shootings have been occurring more frequently in recent years, an FBI study shows, with nearly one incident a month from 2000 to 2013…Seventy percent of the incidents “occurred in either a commerce/business or educational environment,” the…
Rain in the gutters this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — NWS reports ‘Heavy Rain’ today with three-quarters to one inch expected. After just waking up sometime this morning between one and two o’clock, I was sing-songed back to sleep just at the rainstorm’s arrival — an orchestrated musical, lightly starting with a single, soft…
Windy, darkly-overcast, and storm-awaiting this afternoon here on California’s north coast — supposedly this up-coming wet-weather front could maybe douse us with a couple of inches of rain. And the wind is more-than brisk, gusting supposedly up to 25 mph, and really warm — winds coming out of the south, from over the Pacific, and…
Overcast and awaiting some forecast rain this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — right now, warm and quiet. And once again, the spark of ‘shock and awe’ in darkness as the US started its bombing campaign against ISIS, the initial strikes aimed at command centers in Syria: “This is the punch in the nose…
Overcast and quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast — outside my apartment the world seems slow in moving, as if putting off a hardscrabble reality a few minutes longer. And the forecast does call for more rain this week, starting maybe as early as tonight, and getting fairly heavy by Wednesday — or…
Some non-comedic events the last couple days with security drama on the West Wing. Or at least close enough, and spiced with some insightful crazy. Via USAToday about the guy who jumped the White House fence on Friday, sprinted 70 yards to the front door and manged to get inside before he was subdued: The Associated…
Dark-thirty still this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — fog dwells deep around streetlights, and life is way-freaking quiet. Time really flows away writing a post for my blog here — right now it’s a little after six o’clock, probably near an hour away from first light, and most-likely will be eight, or nine…
